A new art program designed to increase student understanding of important concepts
A new "Introduction" chapter provides context and background information for the new microbiology student

Three new chapters covering the three Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya
New photographs, re-scanned and or re-imaged photos and new photomicrographs that match more closely what students are likely to observe in the laboratory
A complete redesign that should allow the student to better access the material

I couldn't have gotten through micro lab without this book! Not that I ever want to see it again, but it was a great tool.
